Dear Abby: Reaching out for suicidal teens

DEAR ABBY: After watching ABC’s television special, “Surviving,” which dealt with suicide among young people, I felt compelled to write. About four months ago, a young man I am very close to tried to commit suicide. His family and friends were shocked. He seemed to have everything going for him. He was doing well at college and there was no visible reason for him to be unhappy—much less suicidal. No one knew the problems that had been gnawing at him for years, and like the young man in the movie, he felt he had no one to turn to and the only escape from the pain of living appeared to be death. Take it from an expert, somewhere, somebody cares, and is more than willing to help. If my friend had known this, he may have been able to save himself and his family a lot of physical and emotional pain. He knows it now. Today my friend is happier than he ever thought he could be. His life is far from perfect, but he knows it never has to be that bad again, and he wants other young people who feel that life isn’t worth living to know it, too.

Never be afraid to risk reaching out. Everyone has someone who cares. My friend didn’t believe it, but he was lucky enough to live to find out. I know that this is true, Abby, because my friend is me. Sign me ... G. DEAR G.: I have received many letters recently from young people who say they are considering suicide. I urge them to get help from their local crisis hotlines. I stress that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I also saw “Surviving,” and think it should be shown in every high school in the country. * * * DEAR ABBY: I just read your column and must comment about a man who complained because the guy he worked with whistled constantly. I’ve been married to a whistler for 46 years. According to his mother,

Heloise

Dishwashing detergent cleanses plastic lenses

DEARHELOISE: Here’s another idea for your very interesting column. The plastic lenses in my glasses come out cleanest when T dip them in liquid dishwashing detergent, then rinse in slightly warm water. Alene * * * Be sure and dry plastic lenses with a very soft cloth as plastic scratches easily.—Heloise CLEANSHADES I have ruffled organdy lampshades and I wondered if there was any way I could clean them. Rose E. Stormes ★ * * I don’t have an answer other than to suggest you vacumm the shades. If the organdy is a synthetic fabric, you might try wiping it with a damp cloth and dry suds, then spraying it with sizing spray if the organdy is limp. If you have parchment shades that need to be brightened, you can rub with a soft cloth dampened with milk, then dry with a clean cloth. Maybe some of our readers know a better way to clean organdy shades. If you do, share it with us. Heloise PHOTO EQUIPMENT Dear Heloise: I am an avid photographer and I have a large amount of expensive equipment. I started carrying it in a knapsack rather than a special camera case to keep from drawing the attention of possible thieves to my cameras and lenses. I wanted to pass this tip along to help others safeguard their cameras. Denny K PACKING POSTERS Dear Heloise: I always enjoy your column and have learned lots of helpful hints by reading it. Here’s a hint for packing posters for storage or moving. Save the cardboard tubes from giftwrap, foil and plastic wrap. Roll the posters and put them in a cardboard tube of the right length. The posters won’t wrinkle or crease. Lucy G. Walhroehl STICKY CLOSET SHELVES Dear Heloise: Because we live in Florida, our closet shelves are open (like a refrigerator shelf but covered with white plastic) to allow air to circulate. The plastic has become sticky. Does anyone know what I could wash them with? So far anything I have tried has not worked. C.H.

he learned to whistle when he was 2, and he didn’t stop whistling from the time his feet hit the floor in the morning until he went to bed at night. My whistler is now employed at a home for the elderly in our town, and nobody has ever complained about his whistling. As for me, I love it! When other wives tell me they never know where their husbands are, I thank God for my whistler. I always know where he is; I can hear him. WHISTER’S WIFE, QUARRYVILLE, PA. DEAR WIFE: Fortunately, you love your husband’s whistling—because it is now a wellestablished habit that would be nearly impossible for him to break. I’ve had many complaining letters about the irritation of living with a chronic hummer, knuckle-cracker, fingerdrummer, throat-clearer, nosesniffer, etc. Lucky you.

I seem to give this same answer for a number of other problems, but household ammonia is the best grease and grime cutter I know of. It is very reasonably priced too, considering the number of cleanings you can get from one bottle. Mix a little ammonia with water and wash the shelf down, rinse and dry. I hope this will help. Heloise THIN TOWELS Dear Heloise: I take two or three old worn towels and sew the tops, bottoms and sides together I even sew across the towels to help keep them together. This gives me a thick towel I can use for an extra bath or shower mat. I use it like a rug for boots and shoes in bad weather. If you have a pet, you can use it as a pet towel. Sharon Keiffer TRAVELING DADDY Dear Heloise: My husband’s job requires a lot of travel. He sometimes is gone from one week to two months at a time. To help my two preschoolers visualize when daddy will be back home, I make a calendar for each of them out of construction paper. The days he will be gone are marked on it. Then I have them put a sticker (star, heart, whatever) in each square every morning until he comes home. It does seem to help in explaining how long daddy will be gone. Diane Garwood * * ★ It also gives them the security of knowing daddy will return soon. I love it! Heloise DOCTOR’S OFFICE Dear Heloise: Waiting in a doctor’s office can be trying when little ones are impatient., I have made flashcards to keep mine occupied. I put the colors, numbers, shapes, and letters on the cards. Not only are my children learning, but it makes time go by a lot faster for everyone. Tina .* * * Are you as clever as the readers featured in today’s column? Don’t keep it a secret. Send your hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 32000, San Antonio, Texas 78216. She can’t answer your letter personally but she will use the best hints received in an upcoming column.
